My new mirror fridge...
Hi everyone, I'm new. I'm 5ft10, BMI currently 23 and I'm pretty fit (training for adventure racing so trail running, mountain biking, weights for strength etc), but I'm "squishy" :laugh: So the goal is a BMI of 20 - 20.5 while maintaining all my current muscle. Anyway, I wanted to share my fridge story - I have just…

How long til you see differences?
Like many here, I don't have *too* much weight to lose, somewhere between 5-7 lbs. That said, I am wondering how long it will take me to see differences. I am on day 9 of the 30 day shred, also eating under 1500 calories per day, and while I DEFINITELY feel fitter and have much more energy, I don't know that I see that…

Will I ever lose it?!
Hello! I am 31 years old and have three children. I was wondering from other mothers out there if it's even possible to see your abs again after having children? I have lost 12 pounds and a couple of pants sizes, my stomach is definitely flatter, but still no abs. Is it even an attainable goal?!

Skinny fat!
I am 5'6.5'' SW 152, CW 134, GW 130-125. I got my body fat checked by a few devices and most say I am around 23% BUT when I went into the bod pod it said I was 33%! Its supposed to be the second most accurate and I belive it because I am thin but I am not tone at all. So I started lifting two weeks ago and went from 1200…

A little about me.
Hi! I'm new here so, I decided to post a little bit about myself. I just turned 23 in April and I am currently overseas in Korea. I like my job here and the freedom to walk wherever I want on big sidewalks, which gives me a little more safety from cars. -.- I'm 5'6" and ##kgs. I hope to lose weight because I want to…

All those who are 160lbs and under
Hello I wanted to hear from users who are 160lbs or say 170lbs. Basically those who don’t have loads to lose. (Sorry it seems mean to exclude others, but I’m trying to hear from people who are similar to me) The reason why I’m specifying this group of people, is I know it’s harder to lose the pounds once you’re within your…

When (Will?) I be bikini ready?
I'm currently at 142 down from 157 and even though I'm at a healthy BMI etc, I am in no way ready to be in a 2 piece. I have never worn one so I really want to this summer. At what weight do you think I'll be close to ready? I'm 5'4". Just looking for suggestions/feedback from similar body types, I know there is no…

New to the group
Hey guys. Joined this group recently and I'm in sore need of some friends who don't have a whole lot to lose either. I feel kinda bad looking at the people with 30+ pounds to lose and I'm only looking to shed around 10lbs, if that. I'm really just looking to have a healthier lifestyle, so it would be nice to know some like…

Really slow start
I've heard it's harder to lose the last 10-15 lbs you have to lose, I was just wondering if anyone here had any tips?? I'm 5ft 10 and 152, aiming to get down to about 140 and then 135 and I'm really struggling. Ok so I only started my current regime 2 weeks ago, I'm eating 1200 calories and doing the 30day shred every day…

C-section tummy- yuck!!!
Had one child 7 years ago and had my twins 22 months ago, they killed my tummy! Anyone else have the c- section skin that folds over the scar? Mine has been getting tighter but that's my biggest issue now and getting better with the weight lost. Love this app, makes me really watch what I eat.

Stretch marks after pregnancy
I'm starting this thread rather than highjacking the c-section scar thread. With summer coming, I'm reminded how I will never wear a bikini or show my middrift out in public. After two pregnancies (second/last one was in 1995) I have stretch marks that extend from my pubic hair line (that's where they are the widest...look…

Sugar in fruits
I recently up my intake of fruits and vegetables and noticed that I'm always above what I need, based on the nutrients list. It seems like my weight didn't seem to move, some days I feel like its up, although i try to keep within my calories, and creating deficit through exercises. Should I cut down fruits since I'm…

Anyone else have light bones?
I know it sounds silly but I truly do have light bones, I also have a tiny frame. So even though my goal weight may seem wrong for my height, it's actually not. And to be honest, at the end of the day, when I eat healthy I naturally lose the weight anyway. Does anyone else have this? If so please friend me with a message…

I need protein food ideas
Hi, I am never near my protein goal. I only get up to about halfway of what my goal is every day. I am not a big meat eater so this is hard for me. I would appreciate protein ideas that aren't very high in calories. Is there such a thing?
